Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of parts fixing and clamping tooling technology, specifically relating to a device for fixing and clamping a bowl-shaped bottom part. Background Technology
[0002] The current issue involves the processing of special materials stamped into bowl-shaped bottom and conical wall parts. These parts cannot be machined using conventional machining equipment. A common processing method is to theoretically calculate the blank dimensions before stamping based on the neutral layer, and then stamp the part according to the material springback and die dimensions. The unfolded dimensions of the part's outer skin are calculated based on the dimensions of the formed part. The shape of the part is then created using thin sheet metal according to these dimensions. A scribing template is used to manually scribble lines around the blank, and the part is then cut into shape using a hand-operated cutting torch.
[0003] When using a manual scribing and cutting torch, the scribing template is attached to the outer skin of the blank and there is no reference edge. The scribing template is made of 0.5mm thick sheet metal, which is soft and can be placed arbitrarily during scribing. For parts with central symmetry, the height of the conical surfaces at both ends will be inconsistent after manual scribing. In addition, the waviness and perpendicularity of the conical surface of the parts cut by manual torch are poor, and the dimensions of the parts are out of tolerance. Matching cutting is required during assembly and welding, which increases the difficulty of assembly and welding. Utility Model Content
